i started my career running my mentoring program in texas. i want to say, thank you for being a social worker and giving back to our community and helping fight for those that sometimes struggle. the mental health issues in our educational system, we have to figure out how we can create a system that puts as much emphasis on being self- sufficient and quality of life as it does on anything else. we need help some of our hoosier population become self- sufficient. and not worry about some of the smaller details of that actually empower our mental health patients. >> rather than rebutting, let me agree a bit with what speaker gregg said earlier. i worked my way through law school, too. we were in law school together around that time. i think he makes a valid point that for non-traditional students, people that are going to school part time, we need to make it more affordable. a good place to start is to help kids finish degrees on time. >> the whole issue of mental health that we have discussed here is just part of a growing concern that we hav

host: cedric from texas, good morning. welcome to the program. caller: i'm a physician and i follow your journalism. i'm probably one of the few physicians that agrees with -- i want to eliminate all government plans. i would be willing to take nothing. i believe the only way to fix this is by setting up a free market. prices meet demand. none of these things meet the demands of the people. with regards to seniors, they talk about how much insurance companies are taking. when they convert from a plan to medicare and how there are hoops. they are lifestyle decisions. president obama is trying to give bundled payments for health care results. a large portion of the population knows they are supposed to eat well and not to smoke. they need their hips replaced the day they turn 65. they know what they need to do. it is not something simple like putting through a scanner and getting the answer right away. they are not interested. you end up living a long, healthy life. you can still get everything at the expense and burden of the younger generations.
